Assignations

Assignations

Assignations in crowded places,
Searching for you in a sea of faces,
Covert kisses, quick embraces...
I'd rather be lonely.

Conversation comes in snatches,
Steers around the sticky patches.
My souvenir, a book of matches...
I'd rather be lonely.

Real lovers talk in future tenses,
Hope, and promise recompenses.
We drink white wine, on the rocks.
Hand in hand, we watch the clocks.

All day I wait for you to phone me.
You say, Who knows what might have been if only...
I never thought I'd rather be lonely...
But...
I'd rather be lonely.
